Ok so I have a 99 elite sr that I put a taz 50mm BB/gears on and its pretty nice.
Just got a 96 elite S and want to build somthing faster. Want to use it on small rides, camping, running around town or up to the store on a beer run.
My question is how much can I do to this engine and still be able to ride it 10 miles if I wanted?
I've been checking out autotech's 120 stroker kit, BB,crank,gears. Of course it'll be ported some, 30 oko and a big pipe. Is this set up only for small straight line shots? Would it run to hot to ride around on some?
My 2nd choice would be a mini stroker and a 50-52mm BB, ported, 28oko, pipe gears. Any thouhts, any one have either set up? thanks in adv. Jason

Re: 1996 elite S engine build help
Is this 10 miles one way? or both ways? 
Doesn't matter really, both setups if done properly won't ride hot. Both are good setups. If you plan to use it more often I'd go with the smaller engine displacement, or the larger one watercooled.
The setup I am running now is more like the bottom but I've got it detuned (running stock carb and air filter). I know I can go a heck of a lot faster if I upped my carb and retuned properly. But I chose the way of a 'sleeper' which is why it is detuned. Only my exhaust note gives it away that it has a bit more 'umph' than stock if I'm running my 'ghetto' panels.
How is your budget? Have you priced both setups?
The only limiting factor on longer rides is the size of that little gas tank. The larger displacements will be more thirsty for fuel with the larger carbs (another reason why I'm running the stock carb is an attempt to stretch my mileage somewhat).
great looking scoot btw.

Got it from the org. owner and its CLEAN! 1200 miles on it, with the exception very few small scuffs here and there its spotless.
I ran my 50mm BB kit with 15/42 gears for break in with stock carb and didn't care for it at all. No top end outa that setup . If I ran a stock carb and exhaust I'd just port the crap outa the stock jug, mill the head and be off to the races. But I'm lookin for a whole diff setup.
I have a 250r atc thats BB'd and sroked out to a 410 cc and its good for one or 2 passes at the dunes before it needs the cool down. The power band is all in, if you have to throttle back from a wheel stand, or someone lane jumping the race is over.
Basicly don't want to go with a pain in the * set up thats not very useable on this build, but at the same time won't be going far on it and know how to tune. Thanks for the input, any body running these set ups have any 2 cent?
